Even though the concept and benefits of social media marketing are well known to all modern day businesses, genuine experts to reap and optimize benefits of this marketing tool are still hard to find.

This finding was disclosed as survey results by consultancy McCann Erickson.

From Mycustomer.com:

These are the findings of a survey among 115 in-house marcoms personnel undertaken by consultancy McCann Erickson. Its Social Media Index 2010 indicated that, although almost three out of five respondents currently used social media as a communications tool in their daily jobs – up 22% on last year – almost a quarter of respondents found advances in the area difficult to keep up with.

A further 17% said that, while they did not employ social media techniques regularly, they were interested in doing so. But 22.4% pointed out that, although they would like to understand the medium more, they found it difficult to unearth genuine ‘experts’ in the field to help them.

This finding is really surprising as there is definitely no shortage of qualified marketing and communications professionals but it seems that they are either reluctant or do not want to try social media techniques.
